What True Merit Will Do.

The unprecedented sale of BOSchee's
German Syrup within few years, has as
tonished the world. 1t is without doubt
the safest and best remedy ever discover
ed for the speedy and ettectual cure of
Coughs, Colds and the severest Lung
troubles. 1t acts on an entirely different
principle from the usual prescriptions
given by Physicians, as it does not dry
up Cough and leave the disease still in
the system, but on the contrary removes
the cd,ise of the trouble, heals the parts
affected and leaves them in Il purely
healthy condition. A bottle kept in the
house for use when the diseases make
their appearance, will save doctors bills
and long spell of serious illness. A
trial will convince you of these facts. 1t
is positively sold by all druggists and
general dealers in the land. Price, 20
cts, large bottles.

Tourists, emigrants and mariners find
that llostetter's Stomach Bitters is Il
medicinal safeguard against unhcalthful
influences upon which they can implc-
lilly rely, since it prevents the effects of
vitiated atmosphere, unaccustomed or un-
wholesome diet, bad water, or other con-
ditions unfayorable to health. On long
voyages, or journeys in ATTITUDES adjacent
to the equator, it is especially useful as Il
preventative of the febrile complaints
and disorders of the stomach, liver and
bowels, which are apt to attack natives of
the temperate zone soiourning or travel
ing in such regions. and it is an excellent
protection against the influence of ex-
treme cold. sudden changes of tempera-
ture, exposure to damp or extreme
fatigue. 1t not only prevents intermit-
tent and remitten fever, and other dis
eases of Il malaria type, but eradicates
them, Il fact which has been notorious
for years past in North and South Amer
lea, Mexico, the West Intiet. Australia,
and other countries.

IZALCO, THE ACTIVE.
Lively Volcano That Shakes Up Central
America
San Francisco Alta Californian.


San Francisco Alta Californian.
Your Central American correspondent
was recently at Izalco, the most active
and most attractive of the volcanoes of
Central America. 1t never harms any
body. There is a Ichurch at its base, its
buttressed walls quite eighteen feet
thick. It has withstood the BOOKINGS and
racket of daily quakes through $50 years.
Three great bells, each weighing about
1000 pounds, and constituted quite one
half of silver, are suspended in the church
yard. They are often toLed by Izalco
when the jolly mountain is in a rollick-
ing good humor, or perhaps when it is
"colicky.n Its explosions occur at inter
walls of from three to five and fifteen
minutes. Now and then the great vent
for explosive forces within are hermetlc-
ally sealed for iva or six hours. and even
longer. Then the country has ague fits
and San Salvador is shaky, and the pre-
scribed path of earthquakes, which is
about twenty-five miles wide, is ''rattled."
This, too, is the width of the coalbeds
along this route of earthquakes. Beneath
the coal is the river of oil that is on fire
at Izaleo. There coal, Oil and a stream
of water meet. Each explosion of the
mountain emits two columns, one of
black smoke from the burning oil, the
other of white steam from Rio Caliente,
which runs out from beneath the noun
tain and crosses the railway five miles
from the volcano. The water is SO hot
that it peeled the hair off my mules leg
| that crossed it a few days ago. When an
explosion occurs in Izalco, not only do
these two columns of steam and of smoke
| rise up among the clouds, but great
| stones and ashes and scoIi@ and vast
| volumes of lava are emitted. The great
er portion of all this measureless volume
of earthly mineral substances falls back
into the crater, closing it and resting on
| it as mighty valve. Great masses of
earth and stone fail in from the interior
of the mountain side, and then the valve
is heavier and deeper and broader than
usual, and then the oil must burn longer
and greater and more resistless volumes
of gas must be produced. The flames
rage, the waters boil, gas and steam and
smoke ex plode at last, and the country
along the earthquakes or coal measures
| route is rudely shaken, and the thunders
of the universe are heard roaring through
the vast distances in measureIess caverns
beneath Izalco.
Nobody should be afraid of earth
quakes. They are simply products o
forces of coal, oil gas and water. AL
| that astonishing yarn about mothe
earth cooling off and contracting her bel
| is very fine and grand and imposing, as
theory, but it won't hold water; certainl,
not that of Rio Caiiente, which took tn
!! Esair, last Saturday, off my grey mule
4 shins.

II the stomach Of the horse were
more fgliy understood Its feeding

The benefit that comes from food
comes through the process OF digestion
that is carried ON In the stomach, and
even while the process OF feeding is
going on. In comparison with the OK,
the stomach Of the horse is quite small.
II is claimed that the stomach OF the
OK has capacity Of $50 quarts, while
that OF the horse IN only about sixteen
quartz so as a consequence whatever
is in the stomach after il is filed must
be expelled into the intestines II feed
ing is continued In that case, il the
process Of digestion Is incomplete the
result Is an expulsion Of the food with
out serving the purpose for which IL Is
intended. For that reason in the use
OF concentrated food in connection
with coarse fodder, there must be an
exercise Of judgement or the feeding
will do little good. Thus oats may be
fed to horse and followed by hay 10
such an extent as TO expel the oats
wholly from the stomach, in which
case the only benefit derived is from
the amount Of digestion going on dur
ing the period Of eating. The Office of
the stomach being 10 digest the nitro
genous portion Of the food, and as a
stomach fun OF oats contains about
four or five times as much nitrogenous
matter as when filed with hay, either
the stomach must secret its gastric
juice fiye times as fast or the period OF
digestion must be five times as long.
ii a concentrated food like oats is to be
fed with hay the latter should be fed
first and then the grains, nhus giving
ample time fgr digestion between

Peas and beans should be left ON
the vines until the pods are well
wrinkled, when they should be picked
and spread until they are quite dry.
Small quantities may be shelled by
hand, large crops are threshed with
fail. Keep them in dry place.
Melon, cucumber, squash and pump
kin seeds should be taken only from
ripe, perfect shaped specimens. In a
small way the seeds may be simply
taken out, spread out ON plates or tins
aud dried. Larger quantities have TO
be washed before drying, to remove
the slime that adhers TO them. When
the seeds are thoroughly dried, tie
them in bags, and keep in dry place
secure from mice and rats.
Beets, parsnips, turnips, carrots,
onions, cauliflower and cabbage will
not produce reed until the second
year. Set out in early May strong,
well-matured plants OF last seasons
crop. When the seed is ripe, cut the
stalks and put under cover TO dry, then
beat out the seeds and tie in paper
bags
Seeds of all kinds should be fully
ripe when gathered, but il is also inn
portant to haryest them as soon as they
are ripe. For keeping small quanti-
ties Of seeds, paper bags are preferable
to cloth, as they afford better protec-
tion against moisture and insects.
Always mark each package with the
name Of the seed contained in il, and
the year in which it grew. Cold does
not injure the vitality of seeds, but
moisture is detrimental to all kinds.
